摘要:
Non-linear intersymbol interference and noise in a received data signal are corrected through use of a Viterbi detector which estimates the most likely sequence of transmitted data symbols by keeping track of candidate data sequence that are recursively updated, based on likelihood measures which are determined by a signal processor which includes circuits for estimating hypothesized channel outputs in the absence of noise. Non-linear input-output relations are stored in one or more look-up tables which, in a preferred embodiment, are registers that store hypothesized channel output symbols in the absence of noise. The contents of the look-up tables may be modified in response to an error signal representative of the difference of the channel output signal and the look-up table output signal.

In a system for transmitting a binary source signal from a data transmitter to a data receiver through a noisy dispersive channel, the data transmitter includes a sliding block encoder which converts the binary source signal at a given symbol rate 1/T into an encoded binary data signal at a symbol rate P/(NT), where P and N are positive integers such that N/P.ltoreq..sup.2 log(3)/2= 0.79248. Since the channel introduces intersymbol interference and noise into the encoded data signal, the data receiver is formed from the cascade of an equalizer, a sampler and a reconstruction circuit which serves to reconstruct the binary source signal at the symbol rate 1/T. The reconstruction circuit includes a detector in a cascade with a decoder having memory the equalizer, sampler and detector are arranged for the detection of a ternary data signal at the symbol rate P/(2NT).

An adaptive transform encoder can keep a recording rate of a digital signal at a constant level. It comprises a unit for orthogonal-transforming one block of digital input signal, a unit for calculating an activity index of the orthogonal-transformed block, a unit for comparing the activity index of the block with a predetermined reference, a unit for classifying the block to a standard bit class having a predetermined number of bits when the activity index of the block is equal to the reference, classifying the block to a low bit class having a smaller number of bits than the predetermined number of bits of the standard bit class when the activity index of the block is smaller than the reference, and classifying the block to a high bit class having a larger number of bits than the predetermined number of bits of the standard bit class when the activity index is larger than the reference, a quantization unit for quantizing the input signal of the block with the number of bits designated by the bit class, a unit for selecting the block of the low bit class from the quantized blocks, an allocation unit for adding to the selected block of the low bit class the data having more bits than the number of bits of the standard bit class of the block of the quantized high bit class, and an encoder unit for encoding the quantized block signal.

An improved 8-8 mpping table system in digitally and magnetically recording video signals. Video signals coded into natural binary codes consisting of 8 bits are converted into different binary codes consisting of 8 bits constituted by patterns in which a continuous number of the 1's or the 0's does not exceed a predetermined number. In these codes, the continuous number of the 1's or the 0's is so limited that a maximum magnetization interval is reduced in magnetically recording the signals. Therefore, erroneous code is prevented from occurring in reproducing the signals.

摘要:
Parity bits (check bits) having a relatively high redundancy are added to upper significant bits of a digital signal, and parity bits having a relatively low redundancy, are added to the lower significant bits of the digital signal. The signal and the parity bits are recorded on a recording medium. The position of an error in a data block group of the lower bits reproduced from the recording medium is estimated as existing in a block in which the error is detected by the check of the data block group of the upper bits, and in the blocks preceding and subsequent to the former.This error correction method is most suitable for a recording and reproduction system of digital video signals.

In one embodiment, a symbol error correction encoder effects block interleaving on recording data and thereafter performs first error correction encoding on the recording data. Next, a symbol error correction encoder performs encoding on the whole block. A reproducing processing circuit outputs likelihood information of respective bits. A first error correction decoder corrects a random error produced upon recording and reproduction, using the likelihood information. Since it is possible to make an improvement in performance with respect to the random error by repetitive decoding at this time, the post-correction data is returned to the reproducing processing circuit. After the completion of such repetitive processing, the data is digitized and subjected to an error correction in symbol unit by a hard determination, and outputted to a symbol error correction decoder.

A tape recorder of the present invention comprises a pair of feed and take-up spools for winding a tape as recording media, a rotatable drum rotated to wind and run the tape between the pair of spools over the drum surface helically, a head for recording, reproducing or erasing signals on the tape wound over said drum surface, and control means for controlling the relative positional relationship between the head and the tape wound over the drum surface based on an error signal such that said signals are stably recorded, reproduced or erased along a desired track, the control means having means for holding the error signal during the period in which the tape is discontinued over a drum surface. The value of the error signal at the time immediately before the tape disappears from the drum surface, or the value of the error signal at the time immediately after the tape reappears over the drum surface during the preceding rotation of the drum is used as the error signal to be held, thereby allowing to stably restart the positioning control when the tape reappears over the drum surface.
摘要:
An original digital signal is converted into either a Miller-squared code signal or a Miller code signal, and undergoes serial-to-parallel conversion to produce n-phase signals (where n is desired to be a positive even number). N-phase virtual demodulated signals are simultaneously generated at clock timing having a period equivalent to 1/n times the period of the transmission clock. Out of the n-phase virtual demodulated signals, n/2 phases are selected to undergo parallel-to-serial conversion, the original digital signal being thus obtained.
